If there is one point on which the players are important, it is the precision of the controllers. If the latter remain more indulgent in the face of hand tracking which continues to reduce its gap with the controllers, being able to play Beat Saber (the best-selling VR) in Expert+ always and again arouses the act of purchase. But what is it really with the controllers Touch Plus Meta Quest 3 regarding their accuracy and autonomy ?
what about precision ?
These last months, a tenacious rumor tended to call into question the choice of Meta as for the disappearance (as on Meta Quest Pro) of the famous rings which equip theOculusQuest and the Meta Quest 2. The rings being considered as a guarantee of precision, it was enough to arouse mistrustespecially since unlike the Quest Prosaid controllers are devoid of cameras.
Rumor brushed aside, since it’s the co-founder of Beat Saber And the technical director of Metaamong others, who claim that it will be possible to play Beat Saber without problems in its highest difficulty. Those who were convinced otherwise might not have known that the LEDs used on the rings were not removed, but simply moved to the perimeter of the controllers of the Meta Quest 3. And if they still worry, Andrew Bosworth confirmed that hand tracking will be on all the time, including with controllers in hand. This process will make it possible to quickly detect and fill the possible blind spots of the next Touch Plus. It goes without saying that the improvements that will benefit the hand tracking will also benefit controller tracking.
Regarding the connectivity of Touch Plus, the documents of the FCC confirm the use of the same wireless technology as previous non-Pro models. Good news, the signal strength will be – compared to previous controllers – reduceda very good point for autonomy.
What about autonomy ?
Speaking of autonomy, it would be similar or greater than on Meta Quest 2fears justified as the controllers of the pro helmet of Meta are energy intensive. Battery operation will be included, which may be considered at first glance as a binding choice (obligation to provide for others) nevertheless turns out to be relevant to use. Yes, because of the impressive gain in autonomy, the player only changes the batteries once or twice a month. THE Meta Quest 3 will be revealed during the Meta Connect September 27, stay tuned as we cover the event.
